Thanks slate, I'm looking at the P2, and it looks like the price is back up to $495, but I shall call them later to see what the story is on that one. Should it actually be $425 and have a glass platter, I'll get it for sure. If it's $500, I'll have to reconsider. My only apprehension with buying this table is that it's located only in the U.K., correct ?

If this means anything, the MMF 2.1 allows for VTA adjustment. Outside of this, at the $300 price range, I can't see any other advantages. Hmmm.....

Thanks DM, for your info as well. I could swear that I came accross a Pro Ject 1.2 on the net somewhere...though I can't recall where exactly. What I'm getting from you guys is that spending $300 is a bit of a waste, when for about $100 or a bit more, I can get a much better value/table.
